  Great Movie That Theatres Are Forcing To Flop

  by Woussko

  I find it very upsetting that just one week after opening that many theatres in my area are either pulling this movie or are only showing it once per day at some very off time. What gives? This is a very good movie for adults to see. Great acting skills and a good story where you will pay attention all the way through. I guess it's all a big game of $$$ and payoffs. Something is sure wrong. When theatres run total trash and pull the good movies maybe it's time to just stay home. GRRRRR

  Resurrecting The Champ

  by David Gosslee

  A very touching movie that deals with the inner dialougue of boxers and the intimate relationships they keep with each other with mutual respect for their opponents.
  A young journalist seeking his career advancing blockbuster story is taken by a man who claims who he is not, with the young mans best wishes at heart he places him in a compromising position with his family and friends after the article is published.
  A good film to see once as the message is director makes the message clear enough not to need to view the film again. The overall message of the film is:
  be careful who trust and research everything. Never jump the gun just because it looks like it will make you hero, in Resurrecting The Champ, the gun was shooting blanks for the young oblivious journalist.
  Overall an excellent performance by the lead and supporting actors, worth watching 100%.

  Outstanding

  by dawnspurr

  First of all, I thought this was a movie about boxing, so I was not really excited to go. In fact it was a movie about wanting success...and what people are willing to attempt to have success. I left the movies thinking that this was one of the best movies I have seen in a long itme.
  
  The acting was wonderful.
  
  Remember this is based on a true story!!!

  Resurrecting the Champ

  by luvagoodmovie

  I highly recommend this movie if you want to see a film with a great message for everyone. The moral delema of the star was one that most of us can relate to.

  What a Great Movie!

  by jlynb1

  After arriving at the theater to find 'The Eye' had misprinted the showing location and time for Stardust, my friend and I found ourselves bouncing from nearby theater to theater, looking for something to see. We came upon, "Resurrecting the Champ" quite by accident; and with neither of us having even heard of it, we went in with rather dubious outlooks on how we might end up liking it. In fact, when we asked the box office worker what the movie was about, they shrugged their shoulders and said... "um... boxing, I think". Hardly being a real boxing fan myself, I walked into the theatre fully expecting it to be a very Long next couple of hours.
  
  What an amazing surprise!! It was such a great movie! The cinematography was beautiful, the casting was perfect, the characters were full of depth, life and believability! And, Samuel L. Jackson should, in my opinion be a real contender for an Oscar, for his portrayal of The Champ!
  
  HIGHLY Recommended Must See!!! :D

  Great

  by movie22copster

  This movie was far more than I expected. Good story, good acting and great casting. I expect Samuel Jackson to be nominated for an Oscar for his performance. It was a very refreshing movie in today's movie market.

  a mental movie

  by tallcritter

  slow at times, but actors were all 100% great .. . Sam is always the best!, even cameo by Peter Coyote almost got by me, I guess direction was slow. . .but good acting can pull a movie along. . . we can always see a movie story in a different light,..

  Resurrecting the Champ

  by trishycpa

  This was a good, not great movie I am recommending to friends - It did not make the top ten list for its first weekend out but I think it's a "sleeper" - people will talk about it and since there isn't much out there right now it's a good movie for us movie lovers to go see. I love Samuel Jackson and he did not disappoint in this movie - outstanding performance along with a meaningful and touching story - but the guys won't mind going since there is a little bit of everything for them too.

  A sleeper hit

  by fxpath9

  I went to see this movie without any expectations and I was pleasantly surprised. My first surprise was that on Sunday evening, Labor Day weekend, there were only 4 people in the movie! (my wife and I plus two others).
  
  In brief, Samuel L. Jackson gives an Oscar-worthy performance. You should go see the movie just for his part. Josh Hartnett is also very good. Kathryn Morris, however, is way out of her element with these two other fine actors.
  
  The movie is heart warming and has a great message. No profanity, no violence, no nudity (that is why no one is going to see it I guess). A simple family friendly message that is a great watch. Go see it and you won't be disapointed.

  The Champ

  by mishaV

  Not what I expected but a great film that, even though it is PG-13. is a family centered movie that teaches lessons about life.

  Resurrecting the Champ

  by Lady3MA

  With a name like this, one would think this is strictly a guy movie about some aspect of boxing.
  In fact it is much more than that. It is about how you viiew yourself, how you build character and how and what makes a relationship. A writer who makes assumptions, an ex fighter who has lost faith and confidance and how the chance meeting and relationship between the two enlightens them both.
